[A method for health education of school children by dental students].

To familiarize in a practice-oriented way the students with the problems of health education, a practical course in the form of a Pioneers' afternoon with the subject "Preservation of Dental Health" was inaugurated at the Section of Stomatology of the Humboldt University in 1974. This course is described in the present paper. Due to the encouraging echo in the school children and the students, and due to the positive effects on the further course of the study of stomatology, it is recommended to introduce this form of practical course also into the curriculum of other universities.

[Treatment of occlusive hydrocephalus with Torkilksen's drainage].

Seventy-three Torkildsen drainages are reported, of which 61 and 12 were performed on tumor patients and in the case of benign aqueduct occlusions due to congenital malformations or chronic inflammations, respectively. The results are quite satisfactory providing due consideration is given to both the basic ailment and the preoperative condition. The Torkildsen drain has proven extremely useful in the therapy of selected cases of occlusive hydrocephalus.

[Splenectomy in Hodgkin's disease--indication and results (author's transl)].

The spleen is involved in 20-30 percent of patients with Hodgkin's disease. Involvement of the spleen cannot be excluded with reliability by radiological procedures or clinical chemistry. Therefore laparotomy and splenectomy are recommended as staging and therapeutic measures. In the authors's material, splenectomy showed splenic lesions in 9 out of 21 patients, mostly unexpected. Splenectomy is always indicated in stage II and should be taken into consideration in individual cases of stages I and III, too.

Severe pleural restriction: the maximum static pulmonary recoil pressure as an acid in diagnosis.

Three patients with pleural restriction are presented in detail. One patient had had a right pneumonectomy and died of ventilatory failure due to left-sided restrictive pleurisy. The second patient had neoplastic pleural effusion and inactive tuberculosis. The third patient had systemic lupus erythematosus with bilateral restrictive pleuritis. The physiologic picture was similar in the three cases, with marked decrease of lung volumes, increase of the RV/TLC ratio, absence of airways obstruction, decrease of the Dco and decrease of dynamic lung compliance. In addition, each of these three patients and others with severe pleural restriction had a lower than normal maximum static pulmonary recoil pressure (Pmax). Since in pulmonary restrictive disease, the Pmax was found to be elevated, it was a useful test for distinguishing pulmonary restriction from pleural restriction.

[Traumatic intracranial aneurysm].

The case of a traumatic aneurysm in the region of the terminal branch of the middle cerebral artery, which was due to parietooccipital fracture of the skull, is reported. The criteria of the traumatic origin of this aneurysm are discussed.
